The name of the band is Confederate Railroad. I know, shocking isn't it?

The band has been a group since 1987 and there has never been a problem until now.

What is wrong with people?

People are fine, progressives are the problem. Bots, Borg, mindless tribers are not people.

Just typing that made you a "racist, sexist, blasphemous, fat-shaming, LGBT-phobic, anti-Semitic, misogynist, misandrist," and I'm sure a few other ists and phobes. Well, at least in the minds of some droids in here.


Sad times for the youth who have nothing really bad to protest so they've been making crap up to be outraged over. They're starting to turn on themselves, which is what totalitarian Marxists do. When Oregon is considering making masks illegal, you know the tide is turning.

Well, Illinois wasn’t in the confederacy. Maybe they don’t like celebrating slavery?

I would never say that you are an idiot because that would be rude but that statement in relation to a harmless band name would normally be made by a drooling moron.

I’m not from the South, I hate what the confederacy stood for. They could call their band “Nazi Railroad” insofar as both nations has similar views towards black people.

The SJW crowd has gone completely off the deep end at this point.
Maybe they can replace them with the Dixie Chicks?

The Drooling Morons sounds like a band Trump should have hired for his first ...and last Inaugural Ball!
